We had an excellent stay at this holiday villa and would highly recommend it. Everything was wonderful: the large swimming pool was impeccably maintained and looked after regularly by the owner, and the beautiful garden made the setting even more special. The villa is just a 5-minute walk from a lovely sandy beach, and the breathtaking views from the property made our stay unforgettable.We especially enjoyed the outdoor cooking area, complete with a BBQ and pizza oven, which was a real highlight for us.Paola, the villa manager, was incredibly helpful, responsive, and friendly throughout our stay. The owners were equally warm and welcoming, and they truly made our holiday feel special.Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a place we would happily return to.

Great surrounding with the mountains in the back and the ocean/beach in the front of the property. Walking distance to "Grotta Mangiapane" and the beach. Specious house with great pool and outside area including a barbecue, lovely garden, lemon tree and outdoor shower. The view is stunning and you can even watch the sunset on the roof terrace of the house. The owner was very helpful in that moment, where we didn't have water and he found a solution to fix it right away. Although his english speaking skills were poor we found a way to comunicate ;) Beware that there is extra charge for using more electricity than written in their description and for checking in after 10pm.

Was an enjoyable time, thanks.

Mama Silvia is a lovely, if somewhat quirky, villa in the village of Cornino near Custonaci. The Villa sits at the back of a group of Villas at the north end of the village about 400 mtrs from the beach and about 1km from the village centre. Although there are other villas between it and the sea you get a superb view of the sea and surrounding area , the view from the Veranda and Pool area is definitely a highlight of this villa as the views are stunning. The villa is laid out as if it were two, two bedroom apartments with a kitchen/diner/lounge area, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor and then the same in the basement. We didn’t use the kitchen in the basement other than to use its dishwasher (as there isn’t one on the ground floor). Another slightly strange layout feature is that the washing machine is in the ground floor bathroom. The quality of internal fitments was good although the kitchen was a little dated, it was well specified with gas oven and hob, fridge freezer, microwave and toaster. There was a good selection of pots and pans although we could have done with a few more large drinking classes and cups. The swimming pool is lovely, a really good size and cleaned regularly. There is a good selection of loungers and umbrellas around the pool. There is an external shower and separate toilet area next to the pool. Note that air conditioning is only available in the communal lounge, kitchen, diner. There are only fans in the bedrooms. There are 2 veranda areas, one at the front and one at the back. The large veranda at the back of the villa has a large dining table, a bench swing and other separate seating and table. The view over the ocean, the hill village of Erice and Mount Cofano is magnificent. There is also a separate area with a granite built pizza oven and barbeque, which was great for al-fresco cooking and dining. This area also has its own separate shower and toilet. Service from the owner and their agent was general very good although a change of towels and bedding at the end of the first week of our 2 week stay had to be chased (2 days late). Beware that within the price you have an allowance of 150Kwh of electricity per week which we were told by the agent would be “more than enough”. We didn’t think we had used a lot of electric but were over our allowance at the end of the 2 weeks by €36. Not a big thing but you need to be aware and budget for this.. I would highly recommend this villa.
